Length: 115m per 50g

Needle size: 4-4.5mm

Ethical Provenence of Mrs Moon Yarns: The tops are from non-mulesed Merino sheep from ethical farms, all the wool is shorn and not a bi-product of the animal skin industry as the sheep are kept fro wool production alone. The alpaca is also shorn, the animals being kept for fibre production only.

Plump dk is a pretty standard doubleknit or light worsted weight yarn. We have used it for straight double knit projects as well as projects specifying an aran weight yarn and found it works well for both. Any needle size from 3.75mm to 4.5mm is great.

We really recommend not getting too stressed about exact tensions. Everyone knits differently and your knitting tension can even change with your mood! If you have found a yarn you really like and it's in the right ball park, why not buy a ball and give it a go? Try a slightly different needle size if you are way off the right tension. If you are putting all the effort into knitting then best to use a yarn you love!

WashingPlump Superchunky and Plump DK are made from the highest quality superfine merino and baby alpaca. These really are special and luxurious fibres and should be treated carefully! Having said that both yarns are suitable for delicate hand washing. Use a specialist detergent and do not agitate or twist the fibres to retain the gorgeous softness and shape of your garment.

SheddingBecause of the roving nature of our yarns (they are single ply, rather than tightly twisted), some shedding may occur. The best way to deal with this is spray your finished garment with water and leave to dry flat, naturally before the first wearing. This sets the fibres and should stop any problems.

Using your yarnAll our yarn comes in skeins. Before using you need to wind the skein into a ball or you will get into an awful tangled mess! If you are not sure how to do this you can watch our video here!
